I am currently self-hosting a meta search engine instance (searxng), which allows me combine searches from different engines (e.g. Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc), but also to filter out websites that I don’t want to show up.
The only website to make my blacklist so far is slant.co (useless SEO-riddled site that always comes up when I search for software comparisons). I also automatically redirect all reddit.com links to old.reddit.com.
I’m looking to expand this list. So, which websites do you blacklist? Either using software, or just mentally.
Glad to see Quora as a common blocked site.
It’s fascinating seeing a answer about physics being the highest rated by a guy who “loves cheeses” with a degree in “Deez Nuts”
But where else can I pretend to be the CEO of Ford, Chief of Staff for the Obama Administration, President of ACLU, and King of the European Union?

This website is so bad… it wants to make an account so badly lol
You can use it without visiting their site https://questions.whateveritworks.org/
That’s awesome. Although from what i’ve heard and seen the answers aren’t all too great.
Yeah it’s like Reddit where anyone can answer a question. Sometimes it’s good sometimes it’s terrible. I have been using it more lately to supplement Lemmy when I need to look up a Reddit type of question. If you need facts not opinion then I just use Wikipedia or official sources for that.
Hey, I wouldn’t have passed first year calculus without the help of a physics forums user named DickHandy
